Residential fence heights in Converse are limited to 4 feet in front yards and 6-8 feet in side and rear yards. Corner lots have additional sight-triangle requirements. Commercial fences may be taller with permits.
Converse Municipal Code limits fences in residential zoning districts to 4 feet in front yards (from the front building line to the street) and 6 feet in side and rear yards, with 8 feet permitted in rear yards abutting commercial or industrial property. Corner lots must maintain a sight-visibility triangle of approximately 25 feet at intersection corners where fences cannot exceed 3 feet to preserve driver visibility. Fence heights are measured from the ground on the higher side of any grade change. Fences atop retaining walls combine for total height calculations in some zones. Commercial and industrial fences up to 8 feet are by-right; taller fences and barbed or razor wire require a building permit and zoning review. Pool barriers have separate height requirements under Texas Health and Safety Code 757 (48 inches minimum). HOA covenants are often more restrictive than city limits and govern privately enforced in many Converse subdivisions. All fence work typically requires a permit above 4 feet.
